[QUOTE="Scion, post: 1353633, member: 5777"] hey plane, Your fighter example is not quite correct. For a direct comparison it would be something like, 'anyone in no armor has ac 10, anyone in wooden/leather armor has ac 15 and anyone in metal armor has ac 20' That would be the same thing as we have for track right now. It doesnt matter how hard the particular setting might make it to track, all that matters is just the base layout. Is it stone or mud? For your fighter it is the same, are they wearing leather or metal? For a dm they would say, 'well, this guy is wearing armor X, with dex modifier Y, and other bonuses Z as appropriate to the creatures amount of wealth and equipment.' Completely different scenarios ;) Certain tasks do become easier as you level up, that is true. But in this case they start out dead easy and then go into triviality within a few levels. No matter how hard a certain situation should be with various circumstancial modifiers, as they are not listed in an appropriate place. A flat dc 20 is the same as the above example with the fighter and type armor, plus it is a reason many people change tumble, tumble doesnt care how skilled your oppoenent is. [/QUOTE]
